For Memorial Day: A 3 minute primer on how to defeat authoritarianism.

When my parents got on a boat the day before Saigon fell, they didn’t know the rules. Int’l law or where borders were drawn meant little when you’re scared & desperate—to hear ppl say children deserve to be torn from their parents because asylum-seekers broke the law is sickening

Do you understand how much of a nazi you have to be to pull a frightened, crying child away from a mother, offering no reassurance or explanation of when the child will see that mother again? And then wake up, go to work, and do it again? Be ashamed. We are the shithole nation.

Nearly 1,500 migrant children go "missing" and it's barely news. One white kid murders 10 people at school and there's a debate over whether he's a victim. This is a violently racist country, and always has been. Insist on fighting for change. The other option is to be complicit.

The Gospel of Matthew states: "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me" Matthew 25:35.

The Bible does not say: "separate children from their parents and don't track the children."#WhereAreTheChildrenhttps://t.co/ezGBEPc4zS
